The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick-Chapter 388: The Most Familiar Stranger
A nebula, like an enraged beast, crashed down violently from the sky. The massive gravitational explosion seemed to drag all the shadowy essence in the air into its vortex.
Viktor instantly transformed into a wispy wind current, gliding through the air like a ghost.
His form, dreamlike and illusory, dodged the core of the impact, then hovered above the nebula, with magic flowing like a gentle stream through his hands.
The magic surging from Viktor's body resembled a deep ocean, turbulently churning above this broken land.
The surrounding air began to grow restless, rising and falling like waves, seemingly ready to roll and tumble at any moment.
A tremendous magical power flashed from Viktor's hand, slowly coiling around his body.
As the abundant magic began to flow, several layers of intricate and exquisite magic arrays started rotating behind Viktor.
In the next second, the arrays stopped spinning. A gleaming spear cut through the deep darkness in the air, its light instantly illuminating the entire illusory world.
[Fourth-tier Magic: Light Sealing Spear]
Several spears shot out like meteors, their shining trajectories accurately piercing Saint Gali's hard steel armor.
Clang!
The light spears simultaneously struck the steel armor, but their powerful force couldn't penetrate this impregnable defense.
No trace was left on the armor; only the bursting light gradually withered and disappeared into the darkness.
A thoughtful look appeared in Viktor's eyes. Although the magic hadn't caused much damage to Saint Gali, his expression remained calm as still water.
This was all within his expectations.
As a general blessed by the stars, even as a soul, Saint Gali was extraordinarily powerful.
And Viktor had experienced such difficult, uneven battles more than once.
But before he could cast his next spell, the iron whip fell like a meteor, breaking through the air with a fierce momentum.
Viktor immediately stepped onto the magic wave that surged beneath him, soaring rapidly into the sky.
The flowing iron whip, carrying the essence of the nebula, slashed through the magic surge, exploding into a splash of water.
As Viktor ascended, Saint Gali quickly brandished his long halberd, preparing to launch a fierce attack at him as he rose.
Whoosh—
Space seemed to be torn apart by a powerful force, with purple stellar magic pouring out like a waterfall.
Viktor bent his body downward, avoiding the horizontal slash that passed before his eyes.
He calmly snapped his fingers, and crimson flames erupted from the scattered water droplets.
[Fourth-tier Magic: Water-Born Blaze]
Those shattered waves instantly transformed into red fire seeds. The rolling flames surged toward the stars in the sky, colliding to produce massive air waves.
Stars and flames completely intertwined, as if heaven and earth were collapsing.
Violent air waves crashed in all directions, tearing the floating nebula rocks into countless fragments.
The deep black hole seemed to tremble, and even the surrounding light appeared to distort and deform.
Viktor gracefully rotated his body, landing steadily on the ground shrouded in darkness.
Magic, like meteors in the night sky, danced again at his fingertips.
Winding patterns materialized in the darkness, like a galaxy under the firmament, crossing through the broken and collapsing void.
Azure magic moistened his fingertips, and a leaping comet seemed to break out of the array.
It transformed into a giant eagle, soaring through the sky, trailing a long, mercury-like tail.
[Fourth-tier Magic: Comet Ocean Current]
The azure magic swirled a few times, like a whirlwind being raised, and suddenly crashed into one of the arms of Saint Gali's enormous body.
Boom!
Pure magic landed on the giant hand, causing the ethereal arm wrapped in nebula to slightly recoil.
The armor on Saint Gali's body trembled slightly, like distant stars shaking.
But soon, this giant stabilized his body and once again swung down his blade filled with stardust.
Bang!
Viktor's form traced an elegant arc, skillfully avoiding the falling giant blade.
Just a few inches away, it was a close call.
The air surged, his coat dancing wildly behind him like a rolling dark waterfall, with countless complex magical patterns crisscrossing over it.
The nebula scattered as if slashed by the giant blade, and the dark essence, like wild wolves in the night, rolled into the endless black hole with turbid stardust.
Just as Viktor had said.
If Saint Gali touched him even once, he would lose.
However, although this Fallen Star General's attacks indeed had the momentum to shatter heaven and earth, they just couldn't touch Viktor.
Viktor, while activating various elemental protections, sketched arrays in the air, quietly brewing magic.
In the vortex of battle, he sought the key to victory.
Amidst the battle, a familiar hoarse voice echoed in Viktor's mind.
It was Vega's voice.
Viktor's form was like a hatching fire seed, casting Comet Ocean Current at Saint Gali's star-dust-filled body while quickly analyzing in his mind.
It seemed that Aurelianne had encountered trouble,
But everything happening there was within his expectations.
He had brought Pricis, a vampire, to this place specifically to protect Aurelianne.
Pricis's potential was like a seed hidden in its shell, not yet sprouted but containing endless possibilities.
Her vampire powers were unfathomable, even she herself couldn't fully control them.
No one knew how powerful she had become.
Laurien had exchanged his life for the lives of Shulbon's million residents.
Though these life forces were as tiny as dust, their sheer number was astonishing.
Nourished by this million years of blood energy, Pricis had evolved into the most perfect vampire.
So powerful that even direct-line vampires paled in comparison.
Now, she was like a dust-sealed armor possessing endless treasures, not knowing how to tap into her potential.
So at this stage, she couldn't even exert one percent of her body's true power.
However, today's main purpose was to help Aurelianne overcome her fear of the undead.
'Do you need my help?'
A voice simultaneously echoed in Viktor's mind.
Viktor, while dodging, responded to Vega:
"If the situation is urgent, you can step in."
"But don't forget my purpose for this journey."
From the other end of his mind came Vega's sharp laughter, the image of an opening bird's beak appearing in Viktor's impression:
'I know.'
'I love doing such things.'
As soon as the words fell, the laughter was cut off like a broken string.
And before Viktor's eyes, a double-headed axe fell through the air.
The wind it brought was like a tear in the air, violently disturbing the ground, stirring up a storm of massive dark rocks.
Realizing he couldn't avoid it by turning into an element, Viktor instantly awakened the dormant power in his staff.
[Giant Prosperity]
The name of the skill flashed in his mind like golden text.
The staff began to undergo subtle changes, with countless patterns covering his body like dense vines.
Golden essence flowed through his arms, along the tight muscle patterns, surging through his entire body, swift and irresistible.
Feeling his muscles expand under the magic, Viktor immediately activated wood element with his right hand.
He formed a steady wooden sword and swung it like lightning.
When the blade collided with the giant axe, a torrent of sparks scattered in all directions, dazzling light flashing rapidly before Viktor's eyes.
A momentary [Perfect Block].
Viktor was pushed back several meters but remained unharmed.
The momentarily enhanced strength allowed him to withstand the attack.
But activating Giant Prosperity instantly depleted his mana, and he couldn't dispel this skill's effect for a certain period.
So now, although Viktor had strength to spare, he temporarily couldn't use magic and had to wait for Giant Prosperity's cooldown.
Even frantically drinking mana potions wouldn't restore his magic power now.
But Viktor had already consumed a mana potion during his free time.
Why?
Because after the Giant Prosperity skill ended, the mana restored by previously consumed potions would be returned to the user along with the previous mana value.
And this effect could be stacked.
One mana potion couldn't fully restore mana, which was perfect for exploiting the skill's mechanism by drinking several potions.
When it converted back, it would restore to the fullest state all at once.
As for now...
Viktor put down the staff held in his left hand.
Since the skill had been used, he might as well make the most of it.
Otherwise, it would be a waste.
At this moment, Viktor held the sword with both hands, his entire body emanating tremendous elemental power.
Meanwhile, Saint Gali also raised all his weapons, mercilessly smashing them toward Viktor.
Clang! Clang!
The coat behind Viktor flickered with the flow of elements, his figure brave and swift on the dark broken ground.
Perfectly blocking every terrifying attack that fell,
Sparks flew everywhere, like red stars scattered in the night.
After all weapons were deflected by Viktor, Saint Gali's body leaned slightly backward.
After a brief daze, he used his remaining strength to retrieve his weapons.
Taking advantage of this gap, Viktor leaped up and swung his sword at the fatigued enemy.
But Saint Gali instantly abandoned his weapons and quickly raised a giant fist, charging toward Viktor's waist.
In the next second, a circular shield flowing with dark energy and flashing crimson eyes appeared from Viktor's waist, blocking that terrifying attack.
Almost simultaneously, Viktor's body elementalized, turning into a flame that enveloped the giant fist.
Saint Gali felt a moment of dizziness; in less than a second, he couldn't respond to Viktor's assault.
Seizing this vacuum period, Viktor restored his form.
He swung his wooden sword, instantly slashing out a bright green-brown sword shadow, fiercely cutting down at the joint of Saint Gali's arm.
Swoosh—!
The green shadow flew past, cutting the blue threads, and that star-cloud arm instantly lost its control.
The arm began to shake, gradually dissipating into the endless night sky like illusory stars.
Saint Gali's life force trembled abruptly, instantly losing an entire bar from its source, his eyes flashing with even more frenzied light.
A bloody red wave rippled across the steel-hard armor, the churning of the nebula more violent and ferocious than before.
Seizing this opportunity, Viktor extended his right hand alone.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Spears, blades, halberds.
Weapons, like an armory, continuously materialized from his hand, resolutely bombarding Saint Gali's chest, raising a cacophony of metallic sounds.
Enraged by countless attacks, Saint Gali roared, the sound echoing in the steel space, making it seem even more sharp and cold.
Viktor focused on his state.
At this moment, Saint Gali was about to unleash his ultimate move.
The surrounding starry sky seemed to be summoned, and the black hole also began to flow rapidly, tearing apart numerous giant rocks.
From those rocks, thousands upon thousands of black dark essence seemed to burst forth, all pouring into the sky above the circular ground.
Viktor looked up at that deep, boundless, and terrifying cloud.
[Fallen Star]
In the next second, a massive nebula giant hand tore through the cloud from the darkness.
Dark power poured into the ground like tides of a dark sea, raising vast stars.
Black ethereal light slowly rose, and in the dim space echoed a power not belonging to this world.
The black hole distorted, space was completely torn apart, and extremely dark floating essence swept across the ground.
The obsidian light raised terrifying air waves, and this illusory space continuously surged with frightening power that devoured the entire frozen starry sky.
Finally, when the dark air waves gradually receded, the entire space displayed tranquility.
Saint Gali's gaze looked between the dark, glorious nebula, as if he had already accepted his final victory.
But suddenly, his gaze, penetrating through the stars, fixed firmly on that purple mist.
A bright star shone through the purple cloud, accompanied by a coat wrapped in numerous heavy elements, appearing before him.
The wooden sword in Viktor's hand had vanished without a trace, replaced by a staff emitting black light.
Facing Viktor, Saint Gali felt a sense of confusion.
He had just been on the ground, how did he suddenly appear in the sky, and even dodge his attack?
"You are indeed strong," Viktor said in a calm tone.
Saint Gali didn't understand that Giant Prosperity's cooldown had ended, and through power conversion, Viktor had transformed back into a mage.
Using elemental flash to tear open space, he had teleported to the sky.
And through the brief invincibility frames of tearing space, he had avoided that extremely terrifying attack.
But now.
Because he had supplemented with several mana potions during his free time.
Viktor's mana was replenished.
Although not as much as Vega's mana value, for Viktor, the fifth-tier mana storage was absolutely sufficient.
Looking at the giant before him, Viktor's coat behind him flowed with a terrible purple element.
The air filled with flowing dark purple ash seemed to begin trembling slightly, sharp electric arcs flashing from the sky.
In Viktor's eyes, countless terrifying thunderbolts seemed to be howling out.
"Unfortunately, I know you like the back of my hand."
As soon as the words fell, countless purple thunderbolts instantly appeared in the high sky, quickly revolving.
Like several dragons twisting in the void.
In the next second, the terrifying purple churning in the black nebula began to grow restless.
Dozens of sharp and chaotic enormous thunder spears fell from the high sky,
Like raging dragons fiercely rushing into the void, piercing through stars, entering black holes.
The complex thunderbolts descended like badgers roaring in a forest, like a flood devouring this chaotic land.
